The House has passed a bill establishing 6th branch of the US military: a Space Force. We are militarizing space! Yet nobody seems to be registering it much. No buzz. No real conversation. No real corporate media coverage. Our acquiescence is stunning. We’re. Militarizing. Space.

Have you noticed how the term has been steadily shifting from “Defense Force” to “Military” ? This shift coincides with with the steady increase of the Militia style use of both our Defense and Police Force. Basic conditioning .

I literally have an army space badge I earned while doing army space things. This is not new.

What does this mean ?
Replying to @marwilliamson
If we don’t others will. Then they could take out our satellites, paralyze our military and infrastructure, and invade. Love and hugs wouldn’t stop that. I wish they would, but you are naively idealistic.

Yeah...this really just elevates the existing Space Command to a separate branch. The US military has long relied on space-borne assets like reconnaissance satellites, communications satellites, and the Global Positioning System.

That's because Democrats are in favor of it. Militarizing space means building tons of rockets and satellite weapons installations. It will be great for the economy! 🤮
